What a dying tree teaches us about grief: Tessa McWatt

What can a dead tree teach us about grief? Tessa McWatt shares how
the natural world—especially the metaphor of the “snag,” a standing
dead tree—helped her navigate the slow loss of her mother to
dementia. As her mother’s memory faded, the forest became a guide
for Tessa, showing that death is not an end, but part of a
continuous, connected cycle.
